A very complex porter with chocolate, light astringent black malts, earth, touch of smoke and a complementary bitterness (Chinook & German Northern Brewer hops).

Extremely drinkable for the amount of complexities going on.

Impressive and a treat to drink, malty with dark fruity undertones. An all around drinkable porter packed with flavour. Dark and a bit heady with a wafting aroma of dark malts and slight hop.

Draft at the brewpub in Seattle.

Pours a very dark brown color that's completely opaque with a two finger light beige head that very slowly fades into a thick lasting ring.  Streaks and spots of lace left behind.

Slightly smokey, deeply roasted dark malt aroma with hints of sweeter malts for balance.  Coffee bean, dark chocolate, coffee bean, smoked meats and oatmeal countered by sweeter chocolate, toffee and caramel.  I'm picking up some faint earthy hops as well.

Lighter bodied than expected with a slightly smokey flavor.  Decent roasted malt presence with dark chocolate and coffee bean along with toffee and oatmeal.   Sweet and robust notes balancing each other out with some earthy piny hops toward the finish.  Pretty tasty but a bit light for my preference.

Serving type: on-tap

Pours a chocolate brown with an off white mocha tan head. Aroma of roasted malts, coffee and bakers chocolate. In the taste, rich malty flavors of chocolate, coffee and a hint of smoke. Real nice nutty malt character, with an ever present cocoa note. Medium to full bodied feel, creamy, well carbonated, very smooth and drinkable. Overall, a solid porter. Tasty.

Pours a deep amber to black in color with a light tan head. In the aroma, a light roast and a sweet note of coffee. In the taste, a light, sweet roast of coffee. A small bite and a medium to lighter bodied mouthfeel, with a small dry coffee roast in the aftertaste. A nice roast for a thinner porter.
